Always thought these looked like one of the old Dirt Devil hand-held vacuums.
Would have been seriously uncool if it didn't have one of the greatest sounding V12 motors. As it stands, it's only a fraction less cool than the quirky land-boat Maserati created on the same platform.

A super fast and stylish Ferrari named for an important person, Enzo Ferrari.

For the time, it was like seeing an alien ship on wheel, in today's world it seems dated compared to other cars. And not the also forget that the MC12 seems like a better version of this and though similar, does everything better. The FXX if it were to have been the original probably would have got more coolness from me.
The car to me doesn't stand in the same realm as the other F cars (F40, F50) as looks and styling and overall wow factor goes. Sure it was a great performing car especially doing what everyone expects from Ferrari when they think of it, but once again other cars before and after did quite well. The only thing I think Ferrari made cool was building over the top halo cars, a market that has continued and only grown since the car. They also made it "cool" to hand pick as if a god themselves who can own their cars.
I give it a cool for the car but overall I don't find what it produced or rather Ferrari produced to be cool, but Ferrari isn't on the chopping block, so to be objective in a subjective matter (strange) it stays cool for me. Low cool, but cool.

I think the F50 was a slightly different scheme. Ferrari didn't like that the F40 had been used as a short term investment for so many customers as the supercar market hit the peak of its bubble in the early 90s. To prevent speculation Ferrari forced owners to lease the F50 before buying it, and for the most part I recall that it worked. However, the scheme with the FXX was that Ferrari would actually keep your car from you unless you attended a special event held by them. It was much more restrictive than a simple lease like with the F50.
I could well be wrong about all of this, but that's my understanding of it.

No, you're right. I was just responding to him saying that the general concept of Ferrari using "leasing" it to dictate what you were allowed to do with it started with the F50.

I love the Enzo as a car, but the rules in order to own the car itself are stupid. So, seriously uncool!

I read the Wikipedia article on the Enzo and I'm surprised at how many projects it spawned. The FXX, FXX Evoluzione, 599XX (Even though it's a 599, it still borrows technology from the FXX), MilleChili, Ferrari P4/5 by Pininfarina, Maserati MC12, MC12 Corsa, and Maserati Birdcage 75th.
